The Wiggles and Sophie's New Room!

We took Sophie on Monday to see the Wiggles... she loved it!!

Her initial reaction seeing them come on stage
Sam Wiggle. Sophie knows them all by colors. She would say "Ooh, yellow!" or "Ooh, purple!"

Soph and Mommy

It was a night time show, so she was allowed binky and blankie half way through. :)

Nana came in town and helped Mommy (almost) finish Soph's big girl room. It looks great and she loves it. Just needs a couple final touches then complete focus on baby's room!

View from door, to the right.

Nana bought her the perfect table and chairs as an early birthday present.View from the door, to the left.

Our old cubby works perfect to hold all of her little toys, picture frame, etc. This is at the foot of her bed.

We brought in her toy chest along with some homemade picture boards. I've put a few pictures up, but Sophie loves taking them down and carry them around with her... especially the picture of her and daddy. :)

Very early stages of updating the baby's room.... move over pink, green and yellow... hello blue and white!

You can see paint testers on the wall... you wouldn't believe how many white colors there are out there!

More swatches. Curtains may be exchanged... depends on the rug we find.

Lots more to do, but we are getting there! Papaw is going to do the painting when he comes in Sept 2nd. Once I find a rug, everything will come into place.

4th of July trip home to Ohio!

We had a great time visiting family and friends over our summer trip home to Ohio! We miss everyone already and are looking forward to coming back over the holidays with a new baby in tow!

These were actually taken before we left... Sophie just out of the pool loving the freedom!

Again, before we went home. She didn't feel like green beans this night...

So Daddy gave her some pizza sauce to try with them...And just like Daddy, she loves to dip!She ate all of the ones on her plate plus wanted more!

Soph and her cousins getting ready for the 4th of July festivities!

Soph and Mommy after a fun night!

With Daddy's wallet... starting at a young age

She calls all of the presidents on the bills "Ho-Hos", as in Santa... I think it's the white hair!

Watching fireworks with Nana

She actually loved them. After every one she would say "boom"

Watching with Papaw

Watching the finale as we make our way to the car

Pool time!

She LOVES being in the water. This is one of the few times she would actually stay in a raft... most of the time she just wants to jump in!

Sophie's "I'm a little stinker" smile!

Her cousin Max was right there with her!

Sophie on the swings at Lakewood Park

As you can tell she is a big fan of the swing!

WEEEE!!!

Daddy pushing Sophie

A Kiddie Park with a lot of rides... Sophie rode every one and loved them! Well, except for the "boom, boom" roller coaster that was a little too old for her!

She didn't hesitate to get on any of the rides

Here she is on the mini Ferris Wheel

Smiled the entire time!!

Getting ready to go on the rocket ride

Telling Mommy which color rocket she wants to ride... she choose purple, a decision that made her Grandpa Art proud!
Flying high on the rocket and loving it! Not scared one bit!

Watching her drive away in these cars broke Mommy & Daddy's hearts... it was like she was 16 driving away for the first time! She looked too old!!

She couldn't see any of us at this point, but obviously was not worried!

Such a big girl

She rode the carusol twice with Daddy - it's her favorite. Of course Daddy picked out the horse they rode on...

And let's not forget the Buckeye's horse!

Playing on Grandpa Art's deck later that night

She loved looking at the view and pointing out the color of the cars that went by

I think she sees an airplane... loves to see them on the ground, but to be in one... not so much!

My buddy.

She loved having Grandpa Art swing her off the chair.

What a fun trip!
